Appalachian Backstory Once upon a holler in the misty hills of Appalachia, there lived a legendary shad known far and wide as Needlebutt. Folk swore he was born when the river winked at the moon, for he was no ordinary fish. Needlebutt was but a wee creature—barely two inches long—but his tail could prick the toughest of boots and tickle the tallest of tales. Old Jed, the wisest of the creek-side folks, claimed he once saw Needlebutt chase off a catfish thrice his size with naught but a flick of that sharp rear end. And so, when the moon dances on the water and stories get spun by firelight, the legend of Needlebutt swims on in the hearts of mountain folk. Creek Life truth Tiny bait. Big attitude. When slabs are picky and you need a bite-sized shad they can’t ignore, the Needlebutt gets it done. .cl-product-wrap{ max-width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 14px 0; font-family: inherit; } .cl-hero{ padding: 18px 18px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.14); background: rgba(0,0,0,.35); backdrop-filter: blur(6px); border-radius: 16px; box-shadow: 0 10px 24px rgba(0,0,0,.25); } .cl-kicker{ display: inline-block; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: .12em; font-size: 12px; padding: 6px 10px; border-radius: 999px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.18); background: rgba(0,0,0,.35); text-transform: uppercase; margin-bottom: 10px; } .cl-title{ margin: 0 0 6px; font-size: clamp(24px, 3.2vw, 34px); line-height: 1.12; } .cl-sub{ margin: 0; opacity: .92; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.45; } .cl-grid{ display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr; gap: 14px; margin-top: 14px; } @media(min-width: 750px){ .cl-grid{ grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; } } .cl-card{ padding: 16px 16px 14px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.14); background: rgba(0,0,0,.30); backdrop-filter: blur(6px); border-radius: 16px; box-shadow: 0 10px 24px rgba(0,0,0,.22); } .cl-card-wide{ margin-top: 14px; } .cl-card-title{ font-weight: 800; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: .02em; margin-bottom: 8px; text-transform: none; } .cl-card p{ margin: 0; line-height: 1.5; opacity: .95; } .cl-pill-row{ display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 10px; margin-top: 10px; } .cl-pill{ display: inline-flex; align-items: center; padding: 8px 10px; border-radius: 999px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.16); background: rgba(0,0,0,.28); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1; white-space: nowrap; } .cl-divider{ height: 1px; margin: 14px 0; background: rgba(255,255,255,.14); } .cl-two{ display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr; gap: 12px; } @media(min-width: 750px){ .cl-two{ grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; } } .cl-mini{ padding: 12px 12px 10px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.12); border-radius: 14px; background: rgba(0,0,0,.22); } .cl-mini-title{ font-weight: 800; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: .08em; text-transform: uppercase; margin-bottom: 6px; opacity: .95; } .cl-mini-text{ font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; opacity: .95; } .cl-link{ color: inherit; text-decoration: underline; text-underline-offset: 3px; } .cl-footer{ margin-top: 14px; padding: 16px 16px 14px; border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,.14); background: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(0,0,0,.34), rgba(0,0,0,.22)); backdrop-filter: blur(6px); box-shadow: 0 10px 24px rgba(0,0,0,.20); } .cl-footer-title{ font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: .06em; text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 12px; opacity: .95; margin-bottom: 8px; } .cl-footer-text{ margin: 0; line-height: 1.5; opacity: .95; }
